I know this thread will be pointless, because assholes will be assholes. But at least I can rant about it on a PSOW forum.

If a team says "LV50+ ONLY", and you're LV45, don't enter, period. I don't see why it's so hard for people to grasp this. I often make teams that, somewhere in the title, it clearly says "Lv130+". But of course, I can't even count how many times I've had LV80-129's strolling into my team.

It's not about being "mean", or "prejudiced", or "biased", or "underestimating", (yes, people have used all four of those words referring to my team in the past), it's about me not wanting Lv83 HUmars frolicking around my Ruins game. Plain and simple. I'm a force, and I don't get my kicks by babysitting a group of low level, dupe-using idiots. (Not to say that high levels don't use dupes.)

Yet for some strange reason, people continuously ignore the team name, thinking I'll for some reason, make them be the exception to my "rule." And then they go so far as to run to the area I'm in, and refuse to leave. If you want to be in a team so badly, go make one. Don't enter mine, and call me a meanie while refusing to leave, and only come up with the pathetic excuse of "there arent ne other ult games". It's a lot easier to completely ignore a team that isolates you because of your character/class/level/legitimacy level, rather than enter the game and make things annoying for everyone.

I know it's not against the TOS to break a rule set by a fellow PSO player; but have some courtesy and/or online etiquette.

...Piss on Sonic Team for not implementing a custom level requirement adjuster when you create a team.

Eh, well 129 isn't gonna make much of a difference, plus some people can survive at low levels. It really depends on who's joining really.

[Aurra]

Seems like many people on PSO have some issues with respecting others' wishes... usually three out of the four people who join your average "legits only" team will be using dupes

I agree that a level 129 character joining a 130+ team won't make too much of a difference in the grand scheme of things, but if the team creator obviously wants only people who meet certain requirements joining, you should be respectful and not join if you don't meet them.

[Sham]

I've let a Lv129 or two stay in the game. More concerned with keeping out the Lv89's and Lv113's.

[Jack]

It does get annoying when a newly level 40 player joins a VHard Seabed game, and proceeds to get the merry hell beaten out of him. But then again, if you let them stay, they'll quickly gain experience points.

Ugh, yeah... The other day my friend made a game called something like "Ruins Lv120+ HU" (HU since we both use FOnewearls and desperately need HU support for Grans, Indi Belras and Dark Bringers), and I SWEAR, every Lv80 kid around joined our game before their mothers pulled the plug and sent them off to school. No less than 7 people logged off mid way, jeez.
And about 4 of them were well under our requested level. GRAAAAAAH!

for a force, HU support = meat shield

right?

[Reenee]

So, uh, what about us logical people that can hold our own ground in the game? Level 50 is pretty much the requirement for entering Very Hard Mines, right? What if I was a Level 48 Hunter using a Partisan, where, oh, almost every damn enemy in the Mines either falls down (Gillchics), or changes position when hit (Canadines)? Hey, I make the friggin' effort not to get hit by Sinows. I know how to provoke them to attack the air, not me. And a Garanz? At such a low level, it'd take a minute or two to take down, especially when there's two of them. Of course I'll be cautious to use a Handgun. So, Sham, would you let me in, without knowing any of the above?

[Sham]

Probably not. Then again, I don't know; I don't make level requirements for Very Hard games. And I definitely don't assume the average PSO player has enough intelligence to do the things you said you're able to do(even though it doesn't take intelligence, just a smidgen of common sense?), simply because most just don't.

Besides, I base my requirements on what I feel is right, not on someone's abilities. I feel that LV130+ is an adequate level for any character to make it through Ruins with level 30 support techs, without being babysat or Resta'd every 5 seconds. Matter of fact, I'd prefer my Ruins teams to be Lv150 and above, but no way I'd ever be that strict. I really don't think about player's abilities/experience.

I just want some LV130+ players to enter my team when I make it LV130+ only.

[raiden999]

I just always made some far fetched name and passworded it. Kept people I didn't want out, and let people I wanted to play with in.
